The green coconut dragon figurine is one of the most special and unique creations of Balinese-Indonesian artisan carving — the flying dragon form carved from coconut shell, 37 cm wide and 80 cm tall, can be used as a garden ornament, terrace decoration, indoor figurine, or wall decoration. The dragon is a symbolic animal figure of strength, wisdom, and positive energy in Eastern cultures — its presence brings protection and good fortune to the inhabitants of the space.
The symbolism of the dragon
The dragon is one of the most revered mythological figures in East and South-East Asia — in Chinese, Japanese, Balinese, and Javanese culture the dragon symbolises strength, wisdom, abundance, and positive celestial energy. According to feng shui, a dragon figurine is the protector of the home and an attractor of good energies — it is considered particularly auspicious when placed in the eastern direction. The dragon motif carries different attributes in different cultures, but power and majesty are common to all.
Carved from coconut — natural and unique
The dragon figurine is carved from coconut shell (Cocos nucifera) — the coconut shell is a dense, hard, and naturally dark-brown material that is excellent for detailed carving. The green paint on the coconut base provides a vivid, contrasting appearance. Each piece is hand-carved by Indonesian artisans, so minor details and grain patterns may vary from piece to piece. Coconut is durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor (covered) use.
Garden ornament and indoor figurine
At 37 cm x 80 cm, the dragon figurine is impressive in size — it can be hung on a wall, displayed on a shelf, or used as decoration in a garden, terrace, or veranda. For outdoor placement, it is recommended to position it in a covered, rain-sheltered location, as coconut material is sensitive to prolonged moisture. The form and green colour of the dragon are equally striking and captivating.
